Description: | The egg-shaped body of this wine jug from Cyprus is decorated in the Proto-Geometric style, which emerged in the Greek world around the 11th century BC. The simple bands of decoration would have been applied with a brush while the jug was on the potter's wheel. The jug's tapering neck widens to form a trefoil mouth, a feature found in a number of styles of `oinochoai' or wine jugs. This example dates to the 7th or 8th Century BC.
